10 Self-Updating Facebook Ads Report Templates
Both successful and unsuccessful Facebook ad campaigns can provide valuable insights into the hypothesis and decisions you make. However, this is only possible if you analyze the outcomes of your campaigns properly and efficiently.
In this regard, a Facebook Ads report template can be a reliable tool you can rely on. However, choosing between native and custom report templates is always a challenge. So, from our experience, we decided to explain when you should go with a native solution and the situations where custom Facebook Ads report templates may be better.
In this article, you can find 10 best Facebook Ads templates for digital marketing professionals, as well as an overview of native options.
Native Facebook Ad reporting template
It’s most likely that you were not aware of out-of-the-box Facebook Ads reporting templates. However, if you read our guide on Facebook Ads reporting, you’ll learn that you can create Facebook Ads reports using one of three design layouts i.e. templates: Pivot table, Trend, and Bar.
Pivot table template for Facebook Ads reports
A pivot table is a form of data organization to derive helpful conclusions easily. This Facebook Ads report template is basically a spreadsheet where columns represent Facebook Ads metrics, and rows – breakdowns. The report created using the pivot table template will let you get more details and granularity of your ads data. Here is what it may look like:
Trend template for Facebook Ads reports
Do you want to make your ads report somewhat visually appealing? Then you can check out the trend template, which includes a graph containing up to 10 lines. Lines show different breakdown segments. They stretch along the YX plane, where the X-axis represents the time interval, and the Y-axis – metrics. This Facebook Ads report template works well to compare metrics and understand trends. Here is what the report may look like:
Bar template for Facebook Ads reports
The third native template for Facebook Ads reports is a bar chart. Similar to the trend template, the bar report can contain up to 10 bars, each representing up to 3 metrics. The groups of bars are represented by breakdowns. This template is good for comparing metrics across different sets of your data. Take a look at an example:
Why you should use a custom Facebook Ads report template
If the Native Facebook Ads reporting templates can meet your reporting requirements, then go ahead. They are pretty good for basic reporting and can work for small projects. You can juggle them around, however, it’s most likely that they won’t fit for more or less advanced analytics, which can grant actionable insights.
Most advanced business users tend to go with custom reports they can build on top of the data exported from Facebook Ads. Usually, the flow looks as follows:
- Select a tool for your custom Facebook Ads report. The options vary from spreadsheet apps such as Google Sheets to BI tools such as Tableau. Optionally, you can opt for one of the dedicated Facebook Ads reporting tools.
- Integrate the chosen tool with Facebook Ads to get data imported recurrently. For this, you can use such ETL connectors as Coupler.io or similar.
- Build a custom Facebook Ads report. You can do this with your own resources or by involving third-party data services.
Of course, Facebook Ads report templates can significantly simplify this flow since you won’t have to build the report from scratch. All you need to do is just connect the template to your Facebook Ads account to import data. So, let’s see what options you can consider.
10 best Facebook Ad report templates
The key selection criteria for the chosen templates are the following:
- Integrability – the templates should be easily integrated with your Facebook Ads account.
- Usability – the templates should be easy to comprehend and use.
- Actionability – the templates should provide you with actionable insights.
Here is what we’ve got.

4. Spreadsheet Facebook Ads report template (Excel and Google Sheets)
While the previous templates were built in Looker Studio, this Facebook Ads template is made in a spreadsheet.

You can also use Coupler.io to connect Facebook Ads to this spreadsheet. In this case, Coupler.io will fetch the latest data from Facebook Ads automatically. This will make your spreadsheet auto-updating, and your report will be ever green – without you having to lift a finger.

5. Facebook Ad reporting template in Google Sheets
If you get used to running reporting or analytics in spreadsheets, then check out this Facebook ad reporting template in Google Sheets by Supermetrics. The template contains a few tabs, with the first one dedicated to a high-level monthly report. Here you can see several ads metrics and their dynamics displayed with the help of sparklines in Google Sheets.
Other tabs are mostly spreadsheets without any visualizations. They show detailed campaign performance, monthly performance, device stats, and age & gender stats. You can connect this template to your Facebook Ads account with the help of Supermetrics. However, the connection flow is not as smooth as with Coupler.io since you’ll need to install the Google Sheets add-on.

6. Facebook Ad test report template in Tableau
Let’s get back to templates built with BI tools, such as Tableau. This Facebook Ads report template contains different ad performance metrics grouped by sections: campaign, ad set, and audience. In addition to bar and column charts, you can also see a scatter plot as a visualization for the Distribution of Ad Sets by Spent.
The template is a work by an analyst at Exness. She shared her template on Facebook Ads performance via Tableau Public so you can download and use it for your project. However, unlike the previously mentioned options, this one does not provide you with a data connector. So, you’ll have to handle the export of Facebook Ads data to the template yourself, for example, with the help of Coupler.io. You can easily automate exports of Facebook Ads data to either BigQuery, Google Sheets, or Excel. Any of these destinations can be directly synchronized with Tableau becoming a data source for your report.
